Korbendikt, Cnicus benedictus (tidligere Centaurea benedicta, benediktinertidsel), er en enårig urt med takkede, tornede blade som kan være klæbrige og behårede. Planten stammer oprindelig fra middelhavslandene og er sandsynligvis indført til Danmark af benediktinermunke. Planten kan i store doser give mavebesvær og opkastninger, men har været brugt som mavemiddel, der kunne lindre koliksmerter og styrke appetitten. Man har ment at planten kunne kurere alting, selv pest, men i dag betragtes den som nærmest værdiløs. Planten bruges som bitterstof i visse bittere og likører.
Den er den eneste art i slægten Cnicus.
Medicinsk opdagelse[redigér | rediger kildetekst]
I 2024 blev det offentliggjort af en gruppe forskere ledet af Dr. Philipp Gobrecht og Professor Dr. Dietmar Fischer, at korbendikt indeholder et stof kaldet cnicin, som accelerer nervefiber regenerering i menneskeceller. Cnicin virkning kan opnås bare ved at spise det. En ulempe er, at et menneske skal indtage ikke for lidt og ikke for meget for at opnå denne virkning.[1][2]

- ^ April 25, 2024, Completely New Use Discovered – This Traditional Herb Has Remarkable Nerve Regenerative Properties Citat: "...Blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus), a member of the Asteraceae family, thrives in our climate. This plant has been utilized for centuries as a medicinal herb, often consumed as an extract or tea to support the digestive system...Recently, researchers at the Center for Pharmacology of University Hospital Cologne and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Cologne, led by Dr. Philipp Gobrecht and Professor Dr. Dietmar Fischer, have discovered a completely new application for its active component, Cnicin. Animal models as well as human cells have shown that Cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. The study was published in the journal Phytomedicine...Compared to other compounds, Cnicin has one crucial advantage: it can be introduced into the bloodstream orally (by mouth). It does not have to be given by injection. “The correct dose is very important here, as Cnicin only works within a specific therapeutic window. Doses that are too low or too high are ineffective. This is why further clinical studies on humans are crucial,” said Fischer. The University of Cologne researchers are currently planning relevant studies. The Center for Pharmacology is researching and developing drugs to repair the damaged nervous system..."
